12/13 So when a business thinks/claims/pretends that I owe them money
it can send my info to a collection company who will then try to
ruin my credit rating. What recourse do I have when a business
owe me money, besides sending letters to their waste basket? Do
they have credit rating that keep them accountable too?
\_ Yes, they have credit ratings.
\_ At my startup, we used to subscribe to Dun & Bradstreet (http://www.dnb.com
and build our company credit rating with them so that (potential) clients
can check on our creditworthiness.
\_ You can take them to court. Small claims court will cost you about
what, $25-$50? Say you are disputing the charges and seek an
injunction. If the business tries to hassle you about terms/
conditions for 3rd party arbitration and you didn't sign anything
tell them to go to hell since the question is if there was ever
a contract in the first place. What company, what situation, and
how much are they trying to get from you?

\_ ultimately, it's defamation of character. |
